Red Castle Tea Room in Monmouthshire

Great cafestop for cyclists. Somewhere to put the bikes, good coffee, cake, and WCs. Take card and cash. Thanks!

Second time of visiting, this time for hot food. Still excellent service and quality of food. Looking forward to our next visit.

Amazing little tea room, with friendly welcoming staff and tasty food.

Called in while on a drive in area and staff were really friendly, chatty and helpful, beautiful setting with outside garden area, rustic feel as part of farm buildings. Would recommend

Very picturesque setting, excellent food and friendly service

What a great place, totally lovely service, great food and location. Thank you 😊

This place is the embodiment of homemade roast dinner. Everything tastes exactly as you remember from childhood. Tender delicious meats, fresh vegetables and the most delectable cauliflower cheese. It takes a lot to create a roast that tastes homely rather than overly commercial and Red Castle Tea Room gets it spot on.

Stopped in on a bike ride with 2 friends. Proper food at very reasonable prices. Will return next time we're passing.

Wonderful helpful staff and food to match.

Great Venue food Met distant Cousins Going again soon

Lovely ! Exquisite lunches and cakes. Run by a wonderful team, the owner can be especially proud of the staff, all of whom are a credit to their generation.

This is such a lovely tearoom and everybody was very friendly. They make a very tasty leek and mushroom tart and they are happy to be flexible about swapping things around on the menu eg chips instead of bacon. The views from the outside seating area are amazing. Great place to have lunch and then visit White Castle, just down the road.

Nice little tea room. Really helpful staff.

A gorgeous cafe run by the loveliest ladies. Such kind hospitality offered to us after we were tired from a long walk

A wonderful setting, but very disappointing food and worrying hygiene. We ordered two baguettes, two scones, a cappuccino, and an elderflower. The baguette was not raw but undercooked, the lettuce served with it was wilted with rotten black bits. The cappuccino was very weak and much more of a latte. Finally the scones were lovely and fluffy but unfortunately very burnt at the bottom. Since it was all young staff (all teenagers), we did not want to complain. But, it’s evident as hospitality professional myself that further training and supervision is necessary.

Spotted the sign by the roadside as we were cycling past....a great find! Very welcoming staff, great service, lovely food / cake (sausage, bacon sandwich, coffee/walnut cake). Thanks for looking after us so well!

What a nice gem! Lovely tea rooms on a farm. The scones are one of the best ones we've ever had.

Really enjoyed the visit, very friendly, great food, I will call again

Happened to find this place by doing a Facebook search for afternoon tea in Monmouthshire. I booked an afternoon tea for 4 and asked for an ammendment and it was no problem at all. We were very impressed with the amount and quality of the food. 5 varieties of sandwhich, homemade quiche, sausage rolls all with generous garnish. This was followed by scones with jam and cream, cream and fruit topped meringue, sherry trifle, victoria sponge, fruit cake and coffee and walnut cake. plus endless pots of tea. There was so much we were unable to finish, so it was boxed up to take home. Although it was very busy, the staff were calm and very friendly. Definitely worth the visit. Thank you.

We just happened notice the sign on the side of the road/lane and stopped by on our motorbikes for a rest and ordered a pit of tea for two along with warmed welsh cakes and coffee almond cake. Very traditional tea service on a tray pot of tea, jug of milk, sugar cubes in bowl along with a jug of hot water (we had 2 cups of tea each with the additional hot water) all brought to our table with a smile and the cakes were delightfully delicious. The staff were super friendly and informed us that they're only open from Wednesday to Sunday for a traditional Sunday roast dinner with bookings being advisable. Our pot of tea and cakes cost us £7.50 which is why we call in again. The Red Castle tea room also cook hot food on the spot as three hungry men ordered cooked breakfasts as we placed our order. It's a really delightful peaceful country side establishment with plenty of parking space for cars and motorbikes in separate areas. Overall it is a gem of a place and a gem to just happen upon like a secret tea room in the middle of the countryside. Also they've been open for 10 years.. Amazing!! 😁 We left happy as Larry and continued on our way to Hereford.

Afternoon tea to die for, vegan option delicious 😋

Beautiful meadow next to the sheltered outside seating area.

Homely atmosphere with excellent food and service from the girls,highly recommend a visit for a Sunday lunch and afternoon teas .

Wonderful freshly home made scones, tea and sat in the garden. Lovely people there. Thank you.

Excellent especially Sunday dinnets

Absolutely delicious roast dinner with a yummy vegetarian option. Fantastic selection of tasty desserts. Great service. Highly recommend!

Passing today so called in for bite to eat amazing customer service , lovely food very friendly even specially made egg/mayo sandwich for our daughter ,shame she filled herself up with strawberry milkshake +couldn't finish !! She loved fussing with lovely 'Marcus' (doberman!! Many thanks.😉

Beautiful tea room, lovely friendly owner and such polite staff. My breakfast was fantastic will definitely return and lots of options for gluten free and vegan which it great. We have been twice in the past week already, truly a hidden gem!

Excellent full English (Welsh?) breakfast with toast. Eat outside on a nice day. We went on our motorcycles but not sure about parking for cars if busy. Awkward in/out onto the main road only gripe. Will definitely go again. Oh, and lovely set of young staff.

Lovely place with great food and drinks, they have a great place to sit outside.

The staff here are welcoming and polite. We popped in for a coffee but ended up having lunch here after seeing the specials on offer. The meals were delicious and we enjoyed the scenery whilst eating. To finish off the meal, we enjoyed a selection of freshly baked cakes. I especially enjoyed the scones which were baked that day. We will definitely be back!!

After seeing the reviews we were looking forward to our lunch here. It was okay but not as good as other reviews suggested. We had 3 filter coffees that were Luke warm felt like they had been on the stove for a while. The lady did make us some fresh ones after we drunk them which were much hotter. 3 of us had lasagne and chips and other had a cheese and onion sandwich. The lasagne was lovely and home made but chips were very soggy and greasy. Not an amazing selection of cakes they didnt look appealing. One of us had the fruit cake which he said was okay. Service was very good staff friendly. Felt it could have been a bit cleaner our outside table had crumbs on it, we actually moved inside due to wasps. The menus which were laminated paper looked a bit tatty. £36 for 3 hot meals and sandwich, coffee'a and 1 slice of cake, couldn't grumble at price but wouldn't rush back unfortunately. Coffee much better in Cotswolds and Devon which is where we Live.

Excellent cafe with a great view! The "Farmer's Feast" is a decent sized breakfast, accompanied by coffee and toast. The undercover, outside seating area is the perfect place to have breakfast and watch the Red Kites soaring above the fields:-)

Always a really great meal in a friendly atmosphere with good home cooking. Just like Mama used to make. No better recommendation!

Really nice staff and lovely home cooked sunday lunch, one of the best meals i have ever eaten, keep up the great quality

Desserts lovely jacket potatoes was stunning ham and chips quite greasy beautiful journey there

Lovely little place for a slice of cake or a big meal. Drive up the track and tuck in!

Another lovely meal, (mother's Day lunch). Beautifully home cooked food, polite and friendly staff, very good value for money.

We love it here.. amazing home cooked delicious food.. came today for Mother’s Day.. lovely primrose given to us mums… the chocolate cheesecake was bloody gorgeous 😊

Really don't get it. We walked here specifically due to the good reviews. View wasnt anything special vs the Offas Dyke path. Owner has an annoying yappy dog they kept letting annoy our perfectly behaved one who was lying down in the corner. Staff were three literal kids, one didn't look old enough to be working legally. Weak cappuccino that was actually a latte, given a massive tablespoon when we asked for something to stir sugar in. My sausage baguette was literally 2 richmonds freezer sausages that I watched one teenager get out with her bare hands on a par baked baguette that they didnt even finish baking! Massive salad out of a packet, given without dressing or knives and forks.. the kids were nice enough but clearly haven't actually ever eaten out on their own to know what people will expect. Cakes were fine, nothing special - fudge cake was dry and I had nutella pie which was literally nutella poured onto a pre bought pie base. Massively overpriced - two coffees, baguettes and cakes came to over £30! Which I wouldn't mind paying if it was more than just edible. Such a shame when they could be using local ingredients. I wasn't expecting Michelin star and like to support family run places when I visit new places but prepare to be disappointed if you like to go to more than a greasy spoon once in a while - even Wetherspoon's is better! I rarely leave reviews but wish I'd seen something like this before choosing to go out of my way.

Always great coming here, especially for a quick coffee and cake whilst out and about. Good food, friendly staff and lovely location

Visited red castle tea rooms on a Sunday lunchtime. Even though we never booked in advance they managed to give us a table for two. Everyone appeared to be eating a Sunday roast and they looked amazing. We had a bacon and brie panini. Full of flavour, we loved it. The actual premises is a renovated barn and this adds to the atmosphere. Once again, a big thank you to all the friendly staff at Red Castle tea rooms.

Lovely Sunday lunch, very nice staff and great value for money.

Lovely service, tasty cakes. Had a nice chat with owners. Very helpful.

Excellent food and cake hidden away in the countryside on the English/Welsh border

Still as good as it's been since I found it by accident a few years back.

Found this little gem today, a very homely, happy welcome and a great tasty breakfast at a very reasonable price also very tasty cakes.

We called in midweek on the bikes, great welcome and service. Food was second to none! Highly recommended

Great place, great atmosphere, friendly staff, super food

Had a great all day breakfast and nice filtered coffee.

Ok young staff need guidance on cooking etc.

A quaint tea room serving hot and cold food including sandwiches, paninis, all day breakfasts and cakes with tea. A beautiful spot surrounded by hills and great views. Friendly staff and good fresh food.

Great to finally visit this cafe. Fantastic value, excellent friendly service.

Lovely place, good food and cake to take out don't forget to have a wander in the little garden centre round the back. Bought some fab plants too 😀

Red castle garden centre. Best and healthiest flowers and plants lve ever seen l. All grown on site and all very reasonable priced. You couldn't do it yourself for the prices they charge. Very nice tea room too. With breath taking views and a covered area so you can eat and drink out of the glare of the sun. Find it on the right on the rd out of Abergavenny past maindiff crt hospital heading towards Skinffith about 25 mins out on the right.

Absolutely spotless and friendly staff with delicious food

Great lunch outside and brilliant nursery

Just had a lovely cup of tea and cake great view and great staff 👍

Friendly, good food and tea, great value

Found Red Castle Tea Room, by chance, on our visit to 3 castles in the area. We stopped and had coffee and cake, but the ended up staying for Sunday lunch as well 😂. The food was was excellent and the service friendly and efficient.

Very friendly. Freshly cooked, great cakes. Well worth a visit

Had the most amazing home cooked roast beef lunch

My husband and I were on the motorbike, almost past by!!first visit here, we had panini and chips, cooked fresh and to perfection. We will be returning on our next trip Service was warm and welcoming

Delightful tea room ,super food at a very reasonable price ,what more can you want 😀

Lovely poached egg on toast. The girls serving were very obliging. And food good.

What a find, we had afternoon tea, it was just lovely, the savories delicious, but the scones were the best ever!! Lovely atmosphere and staff too defiantly be back!

Love going to the tea rooms, food is lush and the staff are very chatty, make you feel at home

My 1st visit here, with my cycling club. Good selection of cakes + nice coffee.

Big breakfast was had here- fantastic voice was great! Such a friendly cafe! Highly recommend

Good value breakfast, nicely cooked. G.f. choices.

Found Red Castle Tea Room today by accident. An excellent find too. Full English Breakfast (at 1.30 pm) and a very welcome coffee. Well prepared and served with a warm welcome. Perhaps not suitable for large parties, but great for a car load. Update. Have visited often in the last year. Still a 5 star tea room. Today: a lovely large salad with really tasty ham. Followed by a berry crumble.

Lovely cup of coffee highly recommended me and my girlfriend megan enjoyed the visit

Stopped by for coffee and cakes a while back. We were surprised that the scones weren't freshly made and the cake wasn't great. Maybe we caught an off day judging my other reviews.

Great food at very reasonable prices. Lovely friendly service, Ann goes out of her way for her regulars and new visitors alike

Great cake... a lovely place on a summers day on the deck.

Wonderful little cafe with all the locally sourced and baked food you could hope for 🙂they also cater for vegan and vegetarian diets 👍🏻 wonderfully priced would definitely recommend 👍🏻👍🏻

What a charmingly quaint place, it really is like walking into someone's home!

Really nice Sunday lunch. Good, friendly service.

Stopped by for Sunday Lunch having booked a table for the family. Good home style cooking with a limited choice of mains (roast beef or chicken today, but does vary week to week) A varied choice of dessert is available. Food is excellent, is very well priced and quantity on the plate is good. I recommend it if you are passing by, but make sure you book a table for Sunday Lunch to avoid disappointment. For teas and snacks it's usually OK to just drop in.

Fab surrounding and fab food with very friendly staff

Very nice food and service..Certainly go again.

Beautiful home warm place with a sunny terrace and the view

Great homely food, very reasonably priced.

Fab food, fab plants at nursery behind, just fab

Iff you want meals like mother use to cook this is definitely the place to dine

Fantastic home cooked Sunday lunch.

Lovely cosy place with friendly service

Great food,people and surroundings. With some magical plants at a good price

Properly old-fashioned, very friendly & welcoming. Our dog Oscar was also welcomed. We had ham, egg & chips. The freshly home cooked ham was tasty, tender & succulent. Chips freshly fried and fried egg from a griddle. 2 of us had traditionally fried farmer's breakfasts - all hot & tasty and very satisfying. All the plates were hot too! Don't expect frills, fancy coffees & syrups for your latte, but you don't need them here! Going to look around the plants now we're nicely full!

Friendly cosy with views to die for

Great place for tea and cake in the middle of an epic bike ride. Warm and friendly, there was a wide selection of home-made cakes as well as a varied menu. Great staff and super value.

Most unwelcoming welcome ever had.

An absolute gem!! The lovely lady who runs it makes you feel so welcome. Fantastic afternoon tea. Lots of sarnies and cakes. Would definitely recommend this place. It's a garden centre too.
